1/. I’m in the river Crossing my bridges before Reaching them again 2/. In my Autumn years Ice age erosion hairline Will I see Summer? 3/. Life flashes before Every haiku recalled The Critic points down 4/. Guardian angel! Where were you when I got mugged? Out playing Halo? 5/. Snowmen imagined While I hide in a warm bed Longing for blue sky. Arthur Chappell

it is harder to find time to write at present as going through lots of activity and job search pressure

Well done, I am going to have to try one of these days. I always finds them so hard. They remind me of short songs and short article posts. People always say it is because people do not want to put a lot of effort into their work. I find short songs and such with great meaning to have more complex thought that long winded songs or article posts.

Nice Haikus Arthur- I loved the guardian angel one and the Snowmen one the best- very good- this from a Haiku lover/writer herself.
